"Lithium Energy Japan" is a new company
devoted to the development, manufacture and sale of
large lithium-ion batteries. GS Yuasa joined forces
with Mitsubishi Corporation and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation
to establish "Lithium Energy Japan" in December of 2007.

The key to the development of EVs is efficient, compact,
and high-performance lithium-ion batteries. The potential
uses of such batteries are not limited solely to EVs;
they could be used throughout cities to help usher in
a new, environmentally-friendly society. And realizing
this 'New Society' is the goal of "Lithium Energy Japan"
as it takes the lead worldwide in achieving mass production
of large lithium-ion batteries. "Lithium Energy Japan"
makes sure its research and development are always one
step ahead, that its selection of products and production
capacity is continually expanding, and that it remains
a constant contributor to the expansion of the lithium-ion
battery market.

Our mission is to use the lithium-ion battery in creating
a 'New Society' where environmentally-friendly automobiles
are widespread, such as EVs and plug-in hybrids, railways,
and next-generation transportation which relies on energy
regeneration systems and new energy systems, like solar
and wind-power.
